96 960: Issue with starting

Post by **CIK7** » 05 Sep 2020, 09:31

Im having an issue with starting my car. I dunno what it could be. It happens every time i let the car sit for 6+ hours at a time. I had this issue before I replaced a leaking fuel line. Im hoping its not the fuel pump. But I dont think the fuel pump was on the service records provided with the car. Please watch the video to see the issue.

Does that rattle go away when warm?it sounds like bad valve clearances, maybe taking a while to pump up

Disclaimer..my 940/960 fu is weak

no the rattle (or as i call it, lifter ticking) does not go away. June said just take out some oil and add tranny fluid to solve. NAPA said add something thicker like Lucas additive. My friend Dave said the valves or lifters are loose and need adjustment.
I wasnt aware you had a 940/940? What do you mean by 'fu'?
